FUNKE Heat Exchanger Plates:

All the plate raw material are chosen in high quality standard, special material like Titanium is same source as the big international brands , in order to keep plates stable performance and long service life time, the plate thickness only use the high level one;

Short overview of plate and gasket:

• very high heat transfer rates due to thermodynamically optimized design

• corrugation fi elds with “Off-Set” embossing allow for symmetrical and asymmetrical fl ow gaps 

• specially embossed entry fi elds for an optimum distribution of media 

• gaskets fastened by “Clip-system” for easy maintenance

• gaskets have a special ribbed surface, enabling more exact centring and stabilization of the entire plate pack

• double gasket with leakage groove between two media,preventing mixing of the media 

• special plate profi le at the edges, reinforcing the plate pack and ensuring high pressure resistance of the gasket during operation

All plate heat exchangers look very similar at first glance. 

But the difference and the secret of efficient heat transfer cannot be seen from the outside – it is the wave pattern. Its performance depends on many factors, including size and number of plates.

Altogether, these factors determine the size of the plate heat exchangers and the operating costs.

A crucial factor e.g. is that plates with different plate corrugation angles (in relation to the fl ow direction) can be combined. Obtuse corrugation angles result in longer thermal paths (H) and higher heat transfer rates but also lead to higher pressure drops. Acute corrugation (L) angles are chosen if the pressure drop must be kept low.

Welded cassettes

In this design special media, such as ammonia in cooling applications, flows through welded plate pairs. On the water side between the cassettes, specially designed gaskets are used.

Double-wall plates

These plates provide maximum protection against the mixing of media used in the heat exchange process. Two simultaneously embossed plates are laser-welded at the port holes. If there is a leak, fluids can escape at the edges of the plate pair.
